The reason I think 'simple' is not good is that we had a 'simple'
driver before which had a completely different data layout. There may
be some users who still use a simple driver with old sheepdog version.
If they upgrade to the latest version, it leads to complete data
corruption.

After all recovery completes, it is true. Okay, it looks good to me.
